I wish my daughter was more into cars. But, I have very little input in her life being 750mi away.

Thanks for sharing. My daughter is 6 and is very mechanically minded. I will watch this with her.

That is a cool story. I hope my son takes an interest in cars at some point. He really only likes them now because daddy likes them. I've tried to get him to help me when doing oil changes and stuff but he doesn't like to get dirty.

Wasn't there a GRM article on this a few years back? Maybe I read it somewhere else...

Does anyone know this girl? We need to get her plugged into a local Autox club, stat.

Ok, David- time to put on your journalist hat. This video was 2013 when she was 14, the goal was to have it done by her 16th birthday, and it's now 2015- I'm sure the math is pretty clear.

You have done more than one article about kids and cars, this one you could even suggest coming to the challenge for her next project.

chop, chop- work to do!!!

Good for her. All of my kids "like" cars but and I can even get them to get their hands dirty from time to time but cars are far from the end all be all for them.

Cool story for real, checked the thread on Fiero forum, they haven't posted completion pics.

Sounds like it's still a work in progress. I'll see what we can find.

That is really a great story. I hope she finishes. Can GRM reach out to her? If for nothing else to let her know we here applaud what she is doing. We need more like her to carry on this crazy (but fun) hobby.

I am wondering if this should be moved from off topic to GRM.

You'll need to log in to post.
